Shellac Hollywood with dots

For those that follow my little blog, you know that I am really into polish of all kinds but I love gel polish. Many times when I am doing one design or playing with items on the challenge list, I have on a base and top coat (usually in Gelish, sometimes Shellac). I keep that same base and top coat on for at least a week and change out the design with regular polish on top using non-acetone polish remover. Periodically, I like to use a Gelish or Shellac color and then do something creative on top. I am a huge fan of red. Love the color Hollywood from Shellac. I did this a few weeks ago and then topped it with dots.

People at work said it reminded them of I Love Lucy. It reminded me a lot of a cartoon mushroom top. Color looks great in the sun. I wore it like this for a few days and then I decided to add another layer....

I added a coat of Essie Matte About You to the top. I am not a big "matte" fan but I did kind of like the way it turned out. I am way happier about the shine in the first photo since I am a glitter girl through and through.﻿
